Imagine for a moment one of your bigger manifestations, which you’ve been working on for a while. You’ve done all the techniques, released the resistance, and entered the feeling state, but still, the manifestation eludes you.
In fact, it might even seem that the more you work on this particular goal, the more elusive it becomes.
If you ask other LOA practitioners what the problem is, they might just tell you something like, “You still have resistance; keep working at it.” But, you know deep down that it just shouldn’t have to take this long.
One of the most popular questions I receive is why someone hasn’t received their manifestation yet. They’ve seemingly done all the right things, but still it hasn’t happened.
Indeed, part of it may be resistance. But, there may also be a more insidious cause in the depths of your subconscious mind, which is keeping you from achieving your goals.
Your Subconscious Mind: The Goal Machine
We hear so much about the subconscious mind. However, you must realize that above all, your subconscious mind is a goal machine.
The subconscious mind takes the information you give it, and does its best to make sure that information remains true.
For instance, if you tell your subconscious mind, “I am poor,” it will do its utmost to make sure that piece of information is true, unless and until you replace that belief with another.
This is why I have emphasized the importance of holding a moment-by-moment awareness of your inner state. Only when you know what information you are feeding your subconscious mind, can you know the results you are going to get in life, and which beliefs are behind your unwanted manifestations.
Your subconscious mind is incredibly adept at making it easier to become its idea of who you should be. A smoker remains a smoker, for example, not only because of the addiction, but because of the subconscious mind’s idea that they are a smoker. It becomes an identity, and so it continues to create that same reality.
I’ve written before that the subconscious mind comprises 88% of your total consciousness. That means, if your subconscious mind believes that you should be poor, it’ll continue to create that, no matter what your conscious mind (the other 12%) says to the contrary.
Fortunately, it’s really not all that difficult to change the beliefs held in your subconscious mind, as long as you follow through the process and don’t get caught up in the resistance that it brings up to the surface.
These beliefs were meant to be changed. They are like the programs you have installed on your computer. Sure, some programs come with the OS by default, but then you get your pick of programs you’d like to install.
In this analogy, the default OS programs include the regulation of your body (breathing, digestion, heartbeat, etc), the ability to process sensory inputs, the ability to feel emotions, etc.
The rest of the programs, like your programs around money, relationships, health, and so forth, are all installed by you, or by your environment when you were a child. But, nonetheless, you have the right to uninstall those programs whenever you choose. Indeed, the subconscious mind makes it easy.
The Subconscious Mind Automates
All of the above you might know already. I’ve discussed the subconscious mind several times on this blog. However, it goes even deeper than this.
Not only is your subconscious mind a goal machine, it is an automator of behavior. It is the reason you’re able to walk, without thinking about taking each individual step.
This might seem like just a form of the above, but you’ll see soon how this plays a part in the law of attraction.
The difference is that a program is a more passive thing. It is a belief that just filters data and makes the world look a certain way to you, as well as acting as resistance when you attempt to manifest something that is in conflict with that belief.
An automated behavior, however, is when your subconscious mind actually makes it easier to perform some particular action or way of thinking. Each time you perform that behavior, the subconscious makes it that much easier to perform it again.
Allow me to illustrate. I mentioned before the belief “I am poor.” With this belief, the subconscious mind will show you ways that this is true, and will make it harder to manifest wealth, because such a manifestation would run up against this belief.
But now imagine that every time you pay a bill, you feel dread and anxiety. After so many times of reacting in the same way, your subconscious mind is going to actually make it easier for you to react in that way. Now, every time you pay a bill, you automatically feel dread and anxiety, even if there’s no good reason to feel that way, such as if you have plenty of money to pay the bill. The subconscious mind doesn’t care: it just performs the behavior you taught it to perform.
Do you see how this is subtly different from resistance? Yes, clearly there is resistance there, but there is also the act of training your subconscious mind to react in a certain way to particular stimuli. You’ve set up the association, paying bills = dread and anxiety, and your subconscious mind happily obliges.
How Automated Behaviors Affect the Law of Attraction
That’s great, but what does this mean in practical terms?
Well, your emotional state is the seed of your future manifestations. So, if every time you pay a bill, you feel dread and anxiety, what do you think you will manifest?
Of course, you’ll manifest more experiences in life that feel like dread and anxiety.
Now, if this is a rare occurrence, then it might not be a big deal. But if you come across this situation frequently, you are consistently putting those emotions out into the Universe, and attracting similar experiences to you.
Let me show you another way this can play out:
I asked you in the beginning of this post to imagine one of your biggest, most stubborn manifestations.
What’s the immediate emotional reaction you have when you think of this goal? Go ahead, take a moment and check.
Is it on the positive end of the scale, or the negative?
If negative, how negative? Rate it from 0 to 10, where 0 is not negative at all, and 10 is the most negative you could imagine.
I’m guessing it’s pretty negative, at least a 5 or above, and higher if you give yourself time to think about it.
Now, let’s put this in perspective, in the terms we’ve learned today:
Obviously you have some subconscious programs that are blocking the way to this manifestation. You already knew that, though, and it really doesn’t help.
But now imagine this: what do you think happens if, every time you think of your goal, you feel this negative state?
Perhaps you start to pair this negative state with your goal?
And if you pair it with your goal enough, what do you think your subconscious mind will do?
Of course, it’ll automate it. Now, every time you think of your goal, you will immediately enter that negative state.
Yes, perhaps you work on clearing it and entering a more positive state when this happens, but your subconscious mind doesn’t care much about that. It’ll help to remove those old unwanted programs, but it won’t do anything about this automated emotional state.
For example, let’s say your goal is to make $1,000 more per month. You’ve been working on this goal for quite a while, and can’t understand why it’s giving you so much trouble.
But, every time you think of the goal, you feel doubt and frustration.
Pretty soon, your subconscious mind is associating “doubt and frustration” with “$1,000 more per month,” so that every time you think of the goal, you’re sending out this “doubt and frustration” energy to the Universe.
Changing Your Automated Emotional States
Obviously, it is possible to change this.
I once compared the law of attraction to learning a song on the piano. This analogy will come in handy here once again.
When you’re learning a song, sometimes you accidentally learn a mistake. Every time you repeat a part of the song, you make that mistake, so it becomes practiced.
That’s sort of what you’re doing. Every time you think of your goal, you practice the unwanted state.
But, it can be fixed. Once you learn a mistake in a song, you aren’t stuck with it for the rest of your life. You can practice the right notes, and the old mistake will fall away with disuse.
How? Simply by making sure you practice the right notes every time you play that section of the song.
In other words, every time you think of the goal, make sure you’re associating the wanted state with it.
Remember that every time you think about your goal and feel bad about it, you’re practicing that mistake, and making it easier to access.
For that reason, you must be very mindful of how you think about your manifestation.
When you bring up the manifestation and feel negatively about it, don’t beat up yourself for practicing the mistake. Just go back and associate a new state with the manifestation.
How do you do that?
- First, access the state you want to associate with your goal. Ask yourself, “What do I want this manifestation to feel like?” It can help if you bring up memories when you felt this way in the past.
- Then, as you’re accessing this state, very lightly think of your goal. At first, the negative state might come along with it. That’s okay. Just persistently return to the state you prefer, and let go of the unwanted state.
- Next, you want to do something we call in NLP a “break state”. That is, think about something totally different for a minute or two. This gives your subconscious mind a chance to absorb what you just did.
- Finally, repeat steps 1-3 until it is easy to keep your wanted state while thinking of the goal.
It might take several times, even 5 or more, before it really sets in. That is okay.
But, this is the way to retrain your subconscious mind to react to your goal in the way you want.
Putting It Together
Again those steps are:
- Access the wanted state
- Bring up your manifestation, and return to the wanted state as necessary
- Break state for a moment
- Repeat until the goal automatically triggers the wanted state
This practice should be paired with any other technique to release resistance in general. However, if done properly, it can really help to quickly manifest even the most stuck goals.
Again, be mindful throughout your day of how you are feeling. This technique can work for overall attitudes, not just manifestations. If you tend to be a negative person, you are also training your subconscious mind to be negative.
But especially pay attention to how you think about your important manifestations. If you start worrying about it, stop yourself, and bring in the wanted state instead. You have to teach your subconscious mind how you want to live. You have to create life as you want it to be.
How About You?
Now it’s your turn. What kind of automated emotional states do you have? Has this technique worked for you? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
Wonderful post! I think this is what we struggle with the most. I get so angry with the programs that were instilled in us, but it does not matter as they can be changed, but as you can se, it takes some practice. This is what I meant by solidifying the state I want to live by. I want to be a positive, happy person and want this 88% of the time. Even if I slip out of it when fluctuating, I want it back again because life is just smoother that way.
It does help a lot to not react to the negativity of the surroundings. This way, you become immune to all that and actually create what you want to instead of reacting to what is.
“This is why I have emphasized the importance of holding a moment-by-moment awareness of your inner state. Only when you know what information you are feeding your subconscious mind, can you know the results you are going to get in life, and which beliefs are behind your unwanted manifestations”. Yes, this is one of the most important things. So, it is true when Abraham say to feel good first and then…
Hi Kat,
Yes, exactly. Of course it does take some practice, as you said, but once you learn how it works, it doesn’t have to be all that difficult.
And yes, the most important thing is your emotional state. Once you have that, then things will go much better for you.
Good stuff. I’ve been living in my flat for a long time, and the visual images of this place and surrounds are strongly associated with depression (just because they have been paired for so long). I want to feel a bit better before I move because I don’t want to “infect” the new place, via associative pairing.
Hi CJ,
I know what you mean. On the other hand, it could act as sort of a ritual, representing to your subconscious mind that the old, outdated state is done with, and it’s time for a change.
These sort of personal rituals are something I might post about at some point. But, essentially it might be easier to create a new, positive association, then to change a strong negative association.
What an amazing post! It just seems like there are more and more fun things to learn about with LOA. Would you mind clarifying some of these ideas even further? Specifically, I’m wondering:
1. How does a person tell if their main problem is resistance or if their main problem is a subconscious program? If you could work through a specific example, that would be great.
2. Are the steps significantly different for resolving resistance vs. resolving an unhelpful subconscious program? The steps given here seem a little different, but not so much so that it’s clear a person needs a different tactic. Wouldn’t releasing resistance whenever the subject came up clear up the subconscious program?
I’m really thrilled with the posts that you’ve been creating lately. I’m learning a lot!
Hi Lisa,
Thanks for your comment. 🙂 I’m happy to answer your questions:
Actually, we have a bit of a confusion of terms here, but that’s okay. 🙂
A subconscious program is another name for resistance. The difference you’re looking for is between a subconscious program (or resistance), and a subconscious automated behavior.
Yes they are very similar. But, a program is more in the background, only coming up when triggered by a manifestation. An automated behavior is more active, and actually runs in the background to make you act a certain way.
The example I gave in the post was the program, “I am poor.” This is a simple belief that someone might have, which will sit in the background until the person desires more money. Then, it’ll become that resistance saying, “This isn’t possible.”
An automated behavior would be something like how you react when you go to pay the bills. If every time you do that, you feel a certain way, say dread and anxiety, your subconscious mind will automate that emotional response. That’s why a lot of times, even when people are well-off financially and have nothing to worry about, paying the bills can still be anxiety-inducing.
But it also plays a part whenever you think of your goal. Yes, that resistance will be triggered, but every time you think of your goal and feel negative, you’re training your subconscious to associate the goal with this negative state.
So even if you were to release a lot of that resistance, it is possible that the goal might still trigger a negative state when thought of.
It’s subtle, but there’s definitely a difference. The reason I wrote this post is because I find people focusing on the subconscious programs, but not so much on this risk of the subconscious mind associating negative states with the goal.
I noticed for myself that when I would work on a goal for a long period of time, just thinking of it would automatically trigger that negative state. I’d release the resistance, but immediately when I thought of my goal again, the same negativity would still be there.
That’s when I realized the danger of missing this part of the process.
The steps are slightly different, yes.
Resistance is more about undoing existing programs. You accept it, or tap on it, or tell a better story, etc.
Changing an automated behavior/association is more about practice.
Let me go back to my piano analogy. When you’re playing a song and make a mistake, your first instinct is to just play that part again, but try to play it correctly. Thats releasing resistance.
But if you just do it once, it’s going to come back. So you go back over and play it 5-7 times correctly, and then continue on. It’s practicing the thing you want to be habitual, instead of the mistake.
So with this, it’s more about practice. You bring up that positive state, think of the goal, break state, and repeat a few times.
If you just clear resistance after it has arisen, yes you’re clearing the programs, but that doesn’t exactly change the association. The association is what happens immediately after the trigger (being the goal).
I’m sorry for the long comment, but does this make more sense?
That does make a lot of sense. I think I am understanding better now. So, is it fair to say that the subconscious automated behavior is re-creating resistance? (I think this is sort of what’s stated above, and then mentioned in the support call.) And that’s why releasing the resistance is only a stop-gap measure–the resistance will just come back so long as the association with negativity is there? Would this mean that for most people, they’re more likely to experience results from practicing new automated behaviors rather than releasing (if they had to choose one)?
This reminds me of something I’ve experienced with NLP. I find that it initially helps me feel free of a craving or an issue, but then the craving seems to reappear in a few hours or a couple of days. Perhaps I cleared out the old programming, but not the automated behavior?
I assumed I was changing both, but maybe that’s not always the case with NLP, or maybe I am doing it incorrectly.
Hi Lisa,
Yes, you’re exactly right. It tends to recreate that resistance, because you haven’t looked at what is behind its creation.
I would say it depends on the issue. Sometimes the resistance is so great that you have to do a period of letting go and releasing for a while, before you can hope to enter that positive state in association with the goal.
To go back to piano practice, it’s sort of like when a section of music is so difficult, you simply can’t play it immediately. You have to work on technique, do drills, etc, first. Only then can you start to practice that section and bring it up to speed.
So clearing the resistance is an initial step when it’s really blocking the way. But then you can work on automating the positive association, and that will really help things along.
As far as NLP, there are a million different ways of doing it. What I shared in this post is technically a version of NLP. But, yes it sounds like you’ve not quite addressed the specific situations where you have that craving.
It’s like a smoker who wants to quit smoking. It’s not just the craving itself, but the craving in the context of the specific situations they smoke. Perhaps they like to smoke after dinner, for example. So after dinner rolls around, that urge is going to be there, and that has to be addressed.

Wow this post feels like missing piece of bigger picture which was so important. I always wondered besides feeling good about the desire why it’s not showing any signs of manifestation.
But I want to ask you that what about burning desires? Sometimes we want something and all we know is we want it no matter what.And don’t want to settle for less. I mean no matter what subconscious mind says conscious mind doesnt listen to it and continues to believe in desire.
Does repeating thoughts about that desire helps to manifest it fast? When I look back I have few experiences where initially I knew it’s not possible but after desiring it so hard it manifested. Does will power play any role in it?
Thank you for the great post.
Hi Rhea,
No, will power really does not play a big part in it. I mean, it can for a time, but eventually that subconscious resistance will take over. I’ve said in previous posts, there’s just no getting around 88%.
What I suspect happened with you is that you initially didn’t believe it was possible, as you said. Once you determined this was going to happen, you simply released any thoughts that said anything else. You were, in fact, releasing your subconscious resistance, because you were so focused on the goal.
I consider that to be different, however. What a lot of people will try to do when they try to make their goal happen, is that they really strongly desire it, but also entertain those negative thoughts. So the more they desire it, the more they push against those negative thoughts, and the stronger they get.
Fortunately you found a way around that, but your subconscious mind did give you the boost you needed once you determined this is what you wanted.
That’s why I say you need persistence. You can’t be willing to take no for an answer. But you also have to avoid the temptation to be desperate about it.
Yes I totally agree with you. Thank you for answering. ????

I want to point out this typo, subconscious instead of conscious, so it wouldn’t confuse others.
As for the blog post, I know what you mean. In my case, it’s especially problematic regarding the LOA. I’ve had several big goals until now that I planned to manifest, but I failed. It turned much worse than I expected. Now whenever I think about my goals, the subconscious recalls all those failures, and I feel negative emotions. I guess that if deliberately creating our lives were easy, most of the people on earth would be happy already. There are so many things to watch out for. This week has been a disaster for me so far, especially since I don’t have Internet (except this one on smartphone. This took away from me several things I could do with Internet, that made my life bearable.
Maybe this is the way to lose my main distractions and fully face my reality. I don’t know, I’m trying to see a purpose in this.
Hi Z,
Thanks so much for pointing out that typo. Totally missed that one. :O
Regarding your situation, yes I think it would be helpful to try associating a positive state with your goals. But for you, I really think that you must learn how to let go. It’s one of the hardest things, I know, but it is totally necessary.
Yeah I guess so. In my case it’s especially challenging to let go, since there is no big area in my life going well, that I could rely on. Like, many students have many problems, but many of them have friends, or a lover, or a hobby, or good family, or they can study well and pass exams regularly, or they are good looking. I have none of those lol so yeah what a challenge for me. Gonna nurture those small joys, I guess, they’re all I have.
Z, I totally understand and I ask you to take heart. things may seem that way now, but one day they won’t. things are so transient. Lovers can show up and you can end up dating them how ever many they are at the same time (I’ve seen it happen) after periods such as this one. Things will clear out and look bright. The best is yet to come.
Thanks, Kat. I really appreciate your support. I’ll keep trying, there’s nothing else to do lol. I hope one day I’ll finally be free. I also hope you’re doing well, or else I’m gonna kick the Universe’s ass. xD

Like, many students have many problems, but many of them have friends, or a lover, or a hobby, or good family, or they can study well and pass exams regularly, or they are good looking. I have none of those lol so yeah what a challenge for me. Gonna nurture those small joys, I guess, they’re all I have.
Z, I totally understand and I ask you to take heart. things may seem that way now, but one day they won’t. things are so transient. Lovers can show up and you can end up dating them how ever many they are at the same time (I’ve seen it happen) after periods such as this one. Things will clear out and look bright. The best is yet to come.
Thanks, Kat. I really appreciate your support. I’ll keep trying, there’s nothing else to do lol. I hope one day I’ll finally be free. I also hope you’re doing well, or else I’m gonna kick the Universe’s ass. xD
Z, I just heard a really good Abe youtube segment entitled: “Abraham Hicks , How to restart your life instantly – You must hear this”. It pretty much sums up what you say here, so you are right on. This one is clear.
Oops, Z, I meant to reply to you directly higher on the page.
Thanks, Kat. I’d watch it now but I still don’t have Internet here. I’m also running out of free data traffic on my smartphone. So many things gone wrong this week lol. Resistance has shown itself right in my face, there’s a problem with like everything I’ve attempted this week. I could have free Internet if only my apartment were several meters closer to the source of Internet. Then I got an idea to use an old router as a WiFi range enhancer, but for some reason the power cable was missing. Then I went to so many shops but none of them had the cable so I couldn’t do anything in the end. Not to mention so many other problems. Clearly there’s some chaos in my energy field, I don’t know how I’m managing to survive all this lol.

Thanks, CJ. Although, I’m not sure if I’ll need this, since I need real Internet, and then I wouldn’t abuse my mobile Internet so much. Plus, my android uses Google Chrome, and those installers are for Firefox.
Hi Z,
What I notice is that you focus on your problems a lot. Is there a way that you can stop focusing on your problems so much, or tell a different story about them that is not so problematic?
Try to focus on things that are going well in your life. That’s why I gave the advice about focusing on the small joys.
I know, thanks Brandon. I’m trying to make that switch, but I have to admit it’s not easy. When I accept a problem and try to focus positively, some other problem hits me hard. Like, after a few days of no Internet, I was actually able to make peace with having only mobile Internet with its limited functions. And right after that I get a message from my mobile company that I’ve already used up 80% of available free traffic, and it’s only been several days into the month. Nonetheless, I will keep trying to make this switch, despite my reality raping me persistently.
Hi Kat,
Great video. The “path of least resistance” is one of my favorites. The LOA is very tactile, very sensory, and the path of least resistance points that out.
